Chromium HTTP library (iOS)

Ivanti Web@Work for iOS supports the use of the Chromium HTTP library in addition to the default Safari HTTP library. The Chromium HTTP library is open source and provides full support for accessing web sites that use NT LAN Manager (NTLM). You use key-value pairs to enable Chromium HTTP library support.

Enabling the Chromium HTTP library also requires a Standalone Sentry configured for AppTunnel. Enabling the Chromium HTTP library involves the following:

1. Configuring an AppTunnel service
2. Configuring AppTunnel rules for Ivanti Web@Work for iOS
3. Adding the MI_AC_ENABLE_CHROMIUM key value pair

Configuring an AppTunnel service

To configure AppTunnel for Web@Work:

1. In the Ivanti EPMM Admin Portal, go to Services > Sentry.
2. Click the Edit button next to the Standalone Sentry enabled app tunneling.
3. Scroll down to AppTunnel Configuration.
4. Add a new AppTunnel service by clicking +.
5. Select <TCP_ANY> to allow Advanced AppTunnel (TCP tunneling) to any backend server that the app requests.
6. Select the Pass Through authentication scheme, which the Standalone Sentry will use to authenticate the user to the app server.

The Sentry passes through the authentication credentials, such as the user ID and password (basic authentication) or NTLM, to the app server.

7. Click Save.
